I was only joking about asking Russia for the emails.................

[Intolerant]

How ironic: The Democrat's entire case against Trump is based on one single joke he made in public. Obviously they were either too stupid to get it, or they have no sense of humor.

Of course, Hillary's loss is no laughing matter.

No sence of humor, very stupid , and no soul. Oh and they are assholes.

 

[tycho1572]

Well, for the longest, Trump repeatedly made appeals to Russia for Hillary's e-mails that went missing. He even said he was serious about it in a television interview.

Now that Mueller, and possibly the Democrats are taking this seriously, at CPAC over the weekend, Trump is now saying that he was joking when he asked Russia to find the emails.

So, which is it, was he being serious on the campaign trail, or was he joking? He said he was serious, but now says he was joking.

Wonder if he was joking about building a wall as well?

Trump: Call for Russia to hack Clinton's emails was a joke

President Trump asserted Saturday his notorious call during the 2016 presidential election for Russia to find Hillary Clinton’s missing emails was made in jest and not intended to be taken seriously.


“With the fake news, if you tell a joke, if you’re sarcastic, if you’re having fun with the audience, if you’re on live television with millions of people and 25,000 people in an arena, and if you say something like, ‘Russia, please if you can, get us Hillary Clinton’s emails. Please, Russia, please. Please, get us the emails, please,’” Trump said during a wide-ranging speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, as chants of “Lock her up” broke out among the crowd.


“So everybody is having a good time, I’m laughing, we’re all having fun. Then, that fake CNN and others say, ‘He asked Russia to go get the emails. Horrible,’” Trump said.

I can’t believe you idiots are still whining about that comment. Most here know what he was saying.

Of course they knew what he meant. But the secular communist Democrats are so desperate they stink and like they say, "Desperation is not the best cologne."

 

[ABikerSailor]

you do know the difference between "Hope" and "want" correct?

I personally don't give a shit if the russians did hack the DNC at Trump's direction. I HOPE HE PAID THEM TO DO IT, it makes NO DIFFERENCE since the hack EXPOSED DEMOCROOK CRIMINAL ACTIVITY to manipulate the primary in favor of hitlery.

Why do you think (I realize the OP is incapable of thinking) the DNC refused to had over their computers to federal investigators? The info may have gotten past their operatives like Stroke and his whore Page.

.

That's pretty much my sentiment. If Russia did something to cause this country to have more freedom and liberty, then God bless their pointy little heads.

So, both of you are cool with a foreign country messing with our elections? By the way Pete, if a candidate, or a campaign actually paid a foreign country to hack the DNC, that would be a severe violation of our laws, and would also invalidate the past election.

wait if a candidate was found out not to be born on US soil, would of invalidate a past election, show us the laws where paying a foreign source to hack would invalidate an election?



.

Well, first off, Obama was born in Hawaii, not Kenya as some of the idiot conservatives claim. And, even if he had been born in Kenya, his mother was a U.S. citizen, and he would have been considered a dual citizen like Cruz was.

As far as allowing foreign governments to mess in our elections?

And no, I didn't pull that out of my ass as you claim, because it's a US government site concerning elections.

Natural born citizen

Today, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 defines naturalization as “conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever.” In contrast, § 1401 lists eight categories of peoples who are "nationals and citizens of the United States at birth," including those born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, as well as children of one or more U.S. citizens abroad as long as the parent(s) meet certain requirements. This means that foreign-born citizens falling under a provision in 1401 are, by statutory definition, not naturalized. The term "natural born" is not used, however.


Children born abroad of US citizens are also considered "natural born".

Only in your paranoid little world of make-believe did Trump send a "code" to the Russians. gimme a fucking break here, do you you seriously think everyone is as stupid as you people are?

Hillary's emails were being intercepted the entire time she was Secretary of State. Long before Trump even decided to run for President. Her emails were being intercepted by not only the Russians, but the Chinese, as well as several unknown hackers.

But that's what happens when you put incompetent little children in places where there should be adults. Thank God the adults are running this county now, instead of the amateurs we had in Washington during the Obama years.

Not for fucking president... let me guess you agree with assnine CNN



Why Cruz is eligible to be president - CNN



(CNN)I do not embrace Ted Cruz politically, but I do embrace his right to run for president, and so should you.

Here is our first question: Who decides whether Cruz is eligible? My answer: At first, you do. We, the people, do. We do this on Election Day when we cast our ballots with the Constitution in our hearts and minds if not in our hands. If you think Cruz is ineligible — if what I say here does not persuade you — you can vote against him.

If Cruz gets enough electoral votes this fall, then Congress and not the Supreme Court should be the final legal judge of Cruz's eligibility. The Constitution's 12th Amendment clearly says that Congress counts the electoral votes at a special session; and thus Congress is constitutionally authorized to refuse to count any electoral votes that Congress considers invalid.



Elsewhere, Article I, section 5 of the Constitution makes clear that each house of Congress may "judge" whether a would-be member of that house meets the constitutional eligibility rules for that house. Suppose Mr. Smith wants to go to Washington as a senator. He wins election in his home state. But the Constitution says a senator must be 30 years old.
If a dispute arises about Smith's age, about whether there a proper birth certificate and what it says, the Constitution clearly says the Senate is "the judge" of Smith's birth certificate dispute.
Similarly, for presidential elections the Constitution's structure makes Congress the judge of any birth certificate dispute or any other issue of presidential eligibility. Congress cannot fabricate new presidential eligibility rules but it is the judge of the eligibility rules prescribed in the Constitution.
Thus, ordinary courts should butt out, now and forever. They have no proper role here, because the Constitution itself makes Congress the special judge. In legal jargon, the issue is a "nonjusticiable political question."
Ordinary courts should butt out, now and forever.



Presidents should pick judges, not vice versa. This is one reason why the Supreme Court's 2000 ruling in Bush v. Gore was a disgrace and is now widely viewed by experts as such.

So, both of you are cool with a foreign country messing with our elections? By the way Pete, if a candidate, or a campaign actually paid a foreign country to hack the DNC, that would be a severe violation of our laws, and would also invalidate the past election.

That's quite a stretch there. So now I suppose you're looking for some proof that Donald Trump paid some Russians to hack Hillary's unsecured server?

Bed wetter sailor is a real fucking genius.

There is as much evidence Seth Rich gave Wikileaks the documents, as there is a russian government agent had anything to do with it. Keep ignoring the fact the only election manipulation was on behalf of hitlery fucking Bernie voters over. Everything else is theoretical bullshit.

Trump: Call for Russia to hack Clinton's emails was a joke

President Trump asserted Saturday his notorious call during the 2016 presidential election for Russia to find Hillary Clinton’s missing emails was made in jest and not intended to be taken seriously.


“With the fake news, if you tell a joke, if you’re sarcastic, if you’re having fun with the audience, if you’re on live television with millions of people and 25,000 people in an arena, and if you say something like, ‘Russia, please if you can, get us Hillary Clinton’s emails. Please, Russia, please. Please, get us the emails, please,’” Trump said during a wide-ranging speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, as chants of “Lock her up” broke out among the crowd.


“So everybody is having a good time, I’m laughing, we’re all having fun. Then, that fake CNN and others say, ‘He asked Russia to go get the emails. Horrible,’” Trump said.

You Tards are so desperately stupid…..

We are having a blast watching you wallow in the absurd.

Trump Just keeps Spanking Tard Ass and he is funnier than hell doing it…

I will have to admit though, you Tards do make it easy for him.

You have got to love the Trumpster…..

you do know the difference between "Hope" and "want" correct?
wait if a candidate was found out not to be born on US soil, would of invalidate a past election, show us the laws where paying a foreign source to hack would invalidate an election?



.

Well, first off, Obama was born in Hawaii, not Kenya as some of the idiot conservatives claim. And, even if he had been born in Kenya, his mother was a U.S. citizen, and he would have been considered a dual citizen like Cruz was.

As far as allowing foreign governments to mess in our elections?

Foreign nationals - FEC.gov

The Act and Commission regulations include a broad prohibition on foreign national activity in connection with elections in the United States. 52 U.S.C. § 30121 and generally, 11 CFR 110.20. In general, foreign nationals are prohibited from the following activities:

• Making any contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or making any expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement in connection with any federal, state or local election in the United States;
• Making any contribution or donation to any committee or organization of any national, state, district, or local political party (including donations to a party nonfederal account or office building account);
• Making any disbursement for an electioneering communication;
• Making any donation to a presidential inaugural committee.

Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to an FEC enforcement action, criminal prosecution, or both.

Once again Obama and Cruz would of gone against the fucking constitution.........the supreme court would of had to rule on both of your scenarios............


2. what does that have to do with your opinion that you pulled from your ass that it would of nullified the last election?




.

If you are born abroad to US parents, you are considered a full US citizen born abroad of US parents. Cruz falls under that, as he was born in Canada, but is still considered a citizen and eligible to run for president. Obama didn't have that problem though, because he was born in Hawaii.

And no, I didn't pull that out of my ass as you claim, because it's a US government site concerning elections. Foreign people and countries are forbidden from giving anything of value to campaigns in this country, and a computer hack or attack is something that would be considered to have value, as computer time and techs can be expensive.

bullshit, take McCain he was eligible because he was born on US soil at the time in Panama....


Presidential Eligibility
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

ARTICLE II, SECTION 1, CLAUSE 5



.

Natural born citizen

Today, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 defines naturalization as “conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever.” In contrast, § 1401 lists eight categories of peoples who are "nationals and citizens of the United States at birth," including those born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, as well as children of one or more U.S. citizens abroad as long as the parent(s) meet certain requirements. This means that foreign-born citizens falling under a provision in 1401 are, by statutory definition, not naturalized. The term "natural born" is not used, however.


Children born abroad of US citizens are also considered "natural born".

Mary Brigid McManamon is a constitutional law professor at Widener University’s Delaware Law School.

Donald Trump is actually right about something: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is not a natural-born citizen and therefore is not eligible to be president or vice president of the United States.

The Constitution provides that “No person except a natural born Citizen . . . shall be eligible to the Office of President.” The concept of “natural born” comes from common law, and it is that law the Supreme Court has said we must turn to for the concept’s definition. On this subject, common law is clear and unambiguous. The 18th-century English jurist William Blackstone, the preeminent authority on it, declared natural-born citizens are “such as are born within the dominions of the crown of England,” while aliens are “such as are born out of it.” The key to this division is the assumption of allegiance to one’s country of birth. The Americans who drafted the Constitution adopted this principle for the United States. James Madison, known as the “father of the Constitution,” stated, “It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. . . . [And] place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States.”

Cruz is, of course, a U.S. citizen. As he was born in Canada, he is not natural-born. His mother, however, is an American, and Congress has provided by statute for the naturalization of children born abroad to citizens. Because of the senator’s parentage, he did not have to follow the lengthy naturalization process that aliens without American parents must undergo. Instead, Cruz was naturalized at birth. This provision has not always been available. For example, there were several decades in the 19th century when children of Americans born abroad were not given automatic naturalization.

I personally don't give a shit if the russians did hack the DNC at Trump's direction. I HOPE HE PAID THEM TO DO IT, it makes NO DIFFERENCE since the hack EXPOSED DEMOCROOK CRIMINAL ACTIVITY to manipulate the primary in favor of hitlery.

Why do you think (I realize the OP is incapable of thinking) the DNC refused to had over their computers to federal investigators? The info may have gotten past their operatives like Stroke and his whore Page.

.

That's pretty much my sentiment. If Russia did something to cause this country to have more freedom and liberty, then God bless their pointy little heads.

So, both of you are cool with a foreign country messing with our elections? By the way Pete, if a candidate, or a campaign actually paid a foreign country to hack the DNC, that would be a severe violation of our laws, and would also invalidate the past election.

That's quite a stretch there. So now I suppose you're looking for some proof that Donald Trump paid some Russians to hack Hillary's unsecured server?

Bed wetter sailor is a real fucking genius.

There is as much evidence Seth Rich gave Wikileaks the documents, as there is a russian government agent had anything to do with it. Keep ignoring the fact the only election manipulation was on behalf of hitlery fucking Bernie voters over. Everything else is theoretical bullshit.

Anything to blame their loss on, except their own incompetence and the fact that they were running a truly crappy candidate that nobody really liked. You don't win an election simply because it's "her time."

They always seem to go for the crappiest candidates, just like they will in 2020.

When did anyone ever claim that Trump paid anyone to hack the DNC?

Do you imbeciles ever stop lying about Trump or making stuff up?

 

[blackhawk]

The true joke is that are allegedly intelligent people out there who still cling to the idea that Hillary lost the election because of the Russians.
